Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini has revealed that midfielder Teun Koopmeiners has reached an agreement with Juventus and is refusing to train with the team. Gasperini stated, “Koopmeiners already has an agreement with Juve, doesn’t want to train with us. He’s stressed, he says.”
Player’s Status and Club’s Reaction
Gasperini confirmed that Koopmeiners will not participate in any upcoming matches, including the Super Cup game against Real Madrid. “He won’t play anymore and will stay out,” Gasperini added. The manager also expressed the club’s frustration, stating, “The club feels blackmailed by this situation.”
